Speaker 1: Wait wait, said.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Midnight Viewing, the Horror anthology podcast, where
Speaker 2: this season we are taking a look at George A.
Speaker 2: Romero's nineteen eighties television series Tales from the Dark Side.
Speaker 2: Sharing the Midnight view with me are the Projection Booths
Speaker 2: Mike White, Well, I'm just.
Speaker 3: Gonna break all of those ten commandments.
Speaker 2: Also joining us is the Culture cast Chris Stashu.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys know this, but practitioners
Speaker 4: of Voodoo are known to make gingerbread.
Speaker 2: Cookies damn fine ones. Evidently, just don't dunk them.
Speaker 4: I've heard their killer.
Speaker 2: Tonight, we are taking a look at two episodes from
Speaker 2: season three. Those are Baker's Dozen and Deliver Us from Goodness.
Speaker 2: Bakers Dozen season three, episode number nine, originally aired on
Speaker 2: November the twenty third, nineteen eighty six, Written by George
Speaker 2: Andrew Romero from a story by Scott Adelman and directed
Speaker 2: by John Sutherland who is actually John Harrison. Not sure
Speaker 2: why the pseudonym, because I actually anyway. This one stars
Speaker 2: Mabel King, Larry Minetti, and Vernon Washington. It is the
Speaker 2: story of an unscrupulous potential ad man trying to make
Speaker 2: a cookie manufacturer famous in New Orleans. That's as broad
Speaker 2: as I can get. What'd you think of this one?
Speaker 5: Mike?
Speaker 3: Oh boy, oh boy. Actually, I've gone on record many
Speaker 3: times saying how much I dislike voodoo, especially in movies.
Speaker 3: In real life, I guess it's okay, but in movies
Speaker 3: and in TV shows it's usually just so hackneyed and
Speaker 3: the whole thing of having voodoo dolls and all that
Speaker 3: stuff usually it's just not pulled off very well. But
Speaker 3: I love the meat spiritedness of this episode and just
Speaker 3: how the just the use of these voodoo doll cookies.
Speaker 3: They really played up for what I enjoyed quite a bit.
Speaker 3: And then seeing Vernon Washington was fantastic as well. I
Speaker 3: love him and things like The Last star Fighter and
Speaker 3: other eighties things, so seeing him show up in this,
Speaker 3: I was just like, yeah, this works for me.
Speaker 2: Where I knew him from, Oh my god, I was great.
Speaker 2: Ask you. It was the entire episode just going what
Speaker 2: I know him. I know he said something that it
Speaker 2: rings in my head, but what is it? It's from
Speaker 2: fucking Last star Fighter?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's something like keep on Dreaming or
Speaker 3: something like that.
Speaker 2: Ah, Grace, what does you think of this one.
Speaker 4: The amount of voodoo stuff that we've seen, Father Malone,
Speaker 4: is a lot. It's not on one hand, it could be
Speaker 4: counted on two. And I think this might be the
Speaker 4: first thing that doesn't feel clicheang yeah, but also that
Speaker 4: weird white people voodoo where it's like, this is voodoo
Speaker 4: through the lens of the white man, right, this is
Speaker 4: what I needed, Voodoo dolls and zombies. This is essentially
Speaker 4: voodoo cookies, which is a subsidiary of voodoo donuts and
Speaker 4: asshole Pacific northwesterners out there. I like the idea. I
Speaker 4: think it works. It's bizarre, like you said, Father Moire, broadly, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's a pretty broad idea that makes no sense in reality.
Speaker 4: But I enjoyed it. And the premise is weird tales
Speaker 4: from the dark side and its mean spiritedness. And yeah,
Speaker 4: it doesn't feel like a bunch of white people wrote
Speaker 4: a voodoo episode set in Haiti, because that's literally what
Speaker 4: we've seen. Look, it's probably they're verging on it by
Speaker 4: setting it in New Orleans. I think we would all agree. However,
Speaker 4: if that's what they're gonna do, Okay, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 4: Just don't set it in fucking Haiti. Don't have people
Speaker 4: dancing around a fucking fire and loin cloths because that's
Speaker 4: literally tails from the Crypt and it was what's the
Speaker 4: term racist?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one you hit the nail in the hand.
Speaker 2: It's the problem with every Voodoo episode, every Voodoo story
Speaker 2: we keep getting, is because we end up in the
Speaker 2: goddamn jungle in a hut with a half naked person.
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous, multiple half naked people and literally full naked
Speaker 4: tails from the crypts.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking particularly of Lagoda's heads on that last season
Speaker 2: of Night Gallery.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking of that one from season two of Tales
Speaker 4: from the Crypt where it's the bride dies and the
Speaker 4: guy's head is on the plate. You remember that one,
Speaker 4: the zombie Bride?
Speaker 2: I do, and I know you do.
Speaker 4: You're having fucking flashbacks like it's Vietnam or the Redheaded
Speaker 4: James Remar episode with Woo Bee Goldberg doing voodoo. How
Speaker 4: about that one?
Speaker 2: Oh boy? You know The problem though, Chris, is that
Speaker 2: when I flash onto those episodes in my mind, I
Speaker 2: remember how good the visual effects were, and then it
Speaker 2: starts to convince me that that was a good television series.
Speaker 2: And then I think about all those people out there
Speaker 2: and social media saying, remember this show it was the best.
Speaker 2: I'm no, it wasn't. It was you are biking wrong.
Speaker 4: Okay, remember how good this show was? Wow?
Speaker 2: No, bring it back? Ye watch it also? No, just
Speaker 2: sit down and do a rewatch and then and then
Speaker 2: tell me how awesome it was. Here's my question, why
Speaker 2: would you make an aggressive cookie? She has voodoo flavors
Speaker 2: that will give you what they promise, So a happy one,
Speaker 2: which is all she eats, keeps her happy all day.
Speaker 2: And Larry Minette says, I had an aggressive one on
Speaker 2: the way over here, and I'm like, why is she
Speaker 2: making that for the Does she want her customers to
Speaker 2: be aggressive suddenly? Like they can eat those in the store, Mabel.
Speaker 4: Especially a white man in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have of everything else. Pulling this out of
Speaker 2: Haiti's perfect I don't. If you didn't tell me this
Speaker 2: was New Orleans, I wouldn't have known. You could have
Speaker 2: said this was Detroit. I would have been like, okay, fine,
Speaker 2: this is some back alley right. Because the Larry Minette
Speaker 2: character has shown up, he has discovered these cookies. He
Speaker 2: knows that they have some sort of magical ingredient. He
Speaker 2: doesn't know that it's magic. He's convinced himself it's not.
Speaker 2: He just wants to market it for them. He's opening
Speaker 2: up his own ad firm. We get too much backstory
Speaker 2: on Larry Minetti's character in this Tales in the Dark Side.
Speaker 2: His goal is simply to become her primary advertising agency,
Speaker 2: and then he gives us the mockup of her of
Speaker 2: the ad that he's come up with. And the ad
Speaker 2: copy is this little brown bags full of country sunshine
Speaker 2: to help you cope with city life. That doesn't make
Speaker 2: me think about poop at all. That's his campaign. I
Speaker 2: would say no, because that's terrible and get out of here,
Speaker 2: like you should be ashamed of yourself.
Speaker 3: You'd want to set those on fire and leave them
Speaker 3: on your neighbor store steps.
Speaker 2: That's what it sounds like to me. I would like
Speaker 2: to say bravo to the editor of this episode for
Speaker 2: dealing with all the ceiling fan laid shadows on the
Speaker 2: actors actors' faces. That was a level of difficulty that
Speaker 2: that editor didn't need, but really rose to the occasion
Speaker 2: because John Harrison is constantly doing stuff like that. Again,
Speaker 2: not sure why he pulled his name off of it,
Speaker 2: where eventually going to interview mister Harrison and find these
Speaker 2: questions out. But one thing I really did like he
Speaker 2: does this in everything he loves transitions, and in this
Speaker 2: one we don't get a transition, but we get a
Speaker 2: montage where the Rise of Cousins cookies through this advertising
Speaker 2: sequence where he has taken slides and like projected images
Speaker 2: onto like a radio. It's really cool for the limited
Speaker 2: budget they've got going in here on Dark Side. In fact,
Speaker 2: this entire episode looks really really good considering some of
Speaker 2: the recent ones we've had.
Speaker 4: Other than the cutaways with the rat, which is obviously
Speaker 4: a budgetary thing, it's that's where it's they're getting the
Speaker 4: most out of Vernon Washington that they can, and he's
Speaker 4: doing what he can. But we go from man to
Speaker 4: woman to man, man to woman to man, man to
Speaker 4: woman to man, man to woman too, rat and she's
Speaker 4: playing with Plato the whole time.
Speaker 1: Is what it looks like.
Speaker 4: It's like, what's going on?
Speaker 1: What is going on?
Speaker 4: Then he turns into a rat. That's the only time
Speaker 4: it feels kind of cheap, but they work around it
Speaker 4: in the only way that they can. I feel like,
Speaker 4: it's the only way you work around it when you
Speaker 4: have a budget of this level.
Speaker 2: I can't even say, like where the rest of the
Speaker 2: budget went necessarily, but there is a lot going on here,
Speaker 2: you know what, I will say where it went to.
Speaker 2: He made the episode look really good. He came in
Speaker 2: with a shot list and a design for the episode
Speaker 2: for this particular episode, and I've noticed Harrison does that
Speaker 2: specifically for each of the episodes, tailoring it to the
Speaker 2: story at hands. Yeah, I do think it's chintzy in places,
Speaker 2: But if we're going to have chintzy be the false
Speaker 2: looking cookie dough as opposed to it's obviously a fucking
Speaker 2: set that I've thrown up some lights onto and it's
Speaker 2: a couple of actors reading lives. For him, this felt
Speaker 2: like a short film to me, with a couple of
Speaker 2: budgetary constraints.
Speaker 4: Agreed. I agree with that, because we've seen some real
Speaker 4: clunkers in terms of the quality of the production design
Speaker 4: of the sets. Sometimes we've seen some stuff that I
Speaker 4: can't even I can't even believe that they were trying
Speaker 4: to pass off in the mid eighties as anything other
Speaker 4: than this is clearly filmed on a set. Yeah, this
Speaker 4: doesn't look like it was filmed on a set. This
Speaker 4: looks rather well done. Again, for me, it's just the
Speaker 4: arbitrariness of the cookies in the voodoo. Oh yeah, my
Speaker 4: problem is so weird, just arbitrary and random.
Speaker 2: My problem with the episode is Romero, in any of
Speaker 2: his writing, will always overwrite. At the beginning of an episode.
Speaker 2: It'll be a weird exposition dump. And it sometimes doesn't
Speaker 2: feel like an exposition dump, but it kind of always is,
Speaker 2: and it always frightens me. And then once the plot
Speaker 2: gets going and the characters settle in and it becomes great.
Speaker 2: But I always have the fear at the beginning of everything,
Speaker 2: and I had it again here because it is clumsy
Speaker 2: at the very beginning of this. But what I loved
Speaker 2: about the episode is what I love about Darkseide, which
Speaker 2: is the entire time I'm thinking about this kitchen rat
Speaker 2: that Vernon Washington is playing, and I'm wondering what the
Speaker 2: relationship is here, and I'm thinking, is this like a
Speaker 2: husband thing or family in some way turns out to
Speaker 2: be Dad, and then she turns him into a rat right.
Speaker 4: Over and over and over and over again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's her term of endearment.
Speaker 2: He's so incredibly mean here, and so at that point,
Speaker 2: because now we're watching Larry Minette, who's clearly this greedy
Speaker 2: prick and we're not rooting for him. I was kind
Speaker 2: of rooting for Mabel King's character because she seemed to
Speaker 2: like manipulate, not allowing herself to be manipulated and like
Speaker 2: gaming the system. But now it turns out she's just
Speaker 2: as bad as everyone. So at that point, I'm like, wait,
Speaker 2: who am I rooting for? And sometimes that's great, Intel's
Speaker 2: from the dark side because everyone is terrible.
Speaker 4: I agree. That is like twenty twenty five TV at
Speaker 4: writ large, you've got TV shows of just solely terrible
Speaker 4: people being terrible to one another, a llah Game of Thrones,
Speaker 4: House the Dragon Succession, and I'm sure the Sopranos, a
Speaker 4: lot of the Breaking bad, like a lot of that
Speaker 4: is now just like terrible. Like I don't understand why
Speaker 4: we have to root for anybody in any of these shifts.
Speaker 4: Kind of don't feel like it's a requirement. I kind
Speaker 4: of would rather want everybody to get theirs in the
Speaker 4: end and nobody be left standing.
Speaker 2: But that's the thing, and that's where this series is
Speaker 2: reigned Supreme because in the EC tradition, everyone's getting fucked.
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter how good or bad you were, you're the
Speaker 2: I loved the ending of this episode. God just to
Speaker 2: jump ahead, I guess. But first of all, okay, they
Speaker 2: introduced Larry Minette's wife, who I loved. This is this
Speaker 2: actress has been in two things, this is one of them.
Speaker 2: But she's just got a great face. So they introduced
Speaker 2: this character. And then we get this rise to power
Speaker 2: of Larry Minette. Obviously he's like the king of advertising
Speaker 2: in the New Orleans area now by the time. And
Speaker 2: then the wife comes back and I wrote in my
Speaker 2: notes here she's still alive, like he didn't have her
Speaker 2: killed in some way. Even if she was, like, she'd
Speaker 2: still be with him. That's kind of silly. But then
Speaker 2: they do the old found the whole tail receipt in
Speaker 2: your pocket kind of situation here, but it's the handkerchief
Speaker 2: and oh when she crushes the oh, the cookie and.
Speaker 3: Then yes, it's because blood, the blood in the shower.
Speaker 2: And it's not just it's blood, it's it's chunky to
Speaker 2: the point of books. We're almost gonna get viscera. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: and once again i'd like to remind our listeners that
Speaker 2: this television series was syndicated on Sunday nights at PF.
Speaker 1: Wild. Yeah.
Speaker 3: That is what really put this episode over the edge
Speaker 3: for me was that crushing of the cookie and then
Speaker 3: what happens to Mabel King. Oh man, oh my god.
Speaker 2: And I was totally sad. They could have run the
Speaker 2: credits over the shower full of blood. But now then
Speaker 2: we got back to Mabel King who is having her
Speaker 2: skull eaten away by a rat.
Speaker 3: It does ah, oh, and it wasn't the wife, wasn't
Speaker 3: she He kept dipping the cookie and hot coffee and
Speaker 3: she's screaming from the hot coffee. I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's so good.
Speaker 4: And then he drowned someone. There's one of the things drowned.
Speaker 4: County commissioner drowns dipping a cookie in a cup of coffee.
Speaker 4: He was sick.
Speaker 2: Fuck. Oh, I love it.
Speaker 4: He gets what he deserves in this one, big time.
Speaker 4: They all do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody's good.
Speaker 4: The wife collects insurance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she'll be okay. And you like she was. It's
Speaker 2: crazy about even she deserves something because she just thought
Speaker 2: he was cheating on her, whereas she should just have
Speaker 2: recognized what a dick. He was here was my favorite
Speaker 2: line in the movie. In the show, Mabel king to
Speaker 2: her dad, I'm gonna work you till you frazzle. Yes, wow, okay,
Speaker 2: you gotta love a gingerbread vodoo doll. Back to the
Speaker 2: original sort of point in this episode, like as far
Speaker 2: as reimagining what a voodoo episode can be, like giving
Speaker 2: us kind of the signs and signifiers but turning them
Speaker 2: on their head a bit like Bravo dark Side and
Speaker 2: also Bravo almost mid season three dark Side. This is
Speaker 2: unprecedented in the world of thought and voluntary television for
Speaker 2: us so far. Our next episode is Deliver Us from Goodness.
Speaker 2: This is season three, episode ten, aired originally on November sixteenth,
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty six, written by Julie Selbo, a story by
Speaker 2: Susette Hayden Elgin and directed by Warner Shuck, starring Kailani Lee,
Speaker 2: Mary Louise Wilson as Steven Vinovich, and Jane Adams giving
Speaker 2: the first teenage performance on an anthology show that wasn't
Speaker 2: completely annoying but actually good. This is the story of
Speaker 2: a mother and housewife who is an accidental saint. When
Speaker 2: her husband is running for office, her godliness is getting
Speaker 2: in the way, so she has to sin her sainthood
Speaker 2: away to ensure her husband's election. Chris, what did you
Speaker 2: think of this?
Speaker 4: Here? Are you speaking in fucking tongues right now? Hey?
Speaker 4: It's the most exposition he shit possible. What a strange, odd,
Speaker 4: bizarre episode. Unlike the last one, feels very set downd.
Speaker 4: Unlike the last one, everyone for the most part seems
Speaker 4: perturbed by one another in some form or fashion.
Speaker 2: And I.
Speaker 4: The premise is so strange.
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 4: What were they on? What the fuck were they on?
Speaker 4: This is a strength the last premise was. I understood it.
Speaker 4: They're like taking the voodoo tradition with the cookie with
Speaker 4: the dolls and turning him into cookies. With this, it's
Speaker 4: a guy running for mayor his wife becomes a saint,
Speaker 4: and so she starts just becoming an immoral clown. But
Speaker 4: she could just go suck some dicks walking through the
Speaker 4: parking lot, to quote Clerks, and that's more than enough
Speaker 4: as long as it's not her husband. Per the Bible,
Speaker 4: stou shall not commit adultery. I don't under And then
Speaker 4: this is solved like it's the concept is weird. It
Speaker 4: makes no sense. I hope that maybe I'm not the
Speaker 4: only one who feels this way. Maybe I am. I
Speaker 4: turned the floor over to Mike White.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really on the fence about this episode. I
Speaker 3: like how hyper stylized it is. You mentioned Jane Adams,
Speaker 3: who at this point in her life was twenty one
Speaker 3: years old, so and I wonder she was playing a
Speaker 3: really good teenager.
Speaker 2: Damn it.
Speaker 3: She does it great, though, And I mean I love her.
Speaker 3: I love her in everything that I've seen, even Orange
Speaker 3: County I thought she was great in. But yeah, I
Speaker 3: love her and happiness and everything else I've seen her.
Speaker 3: And I loved the whole thing of her and the
Speaker 3: colose things baton, yes, thank you, and yeah, she's just
Speaker 3: such a spas But yeah, I kind of like how
Speaker 3: just over the top all of this acting is our
Speaker 3: main character just is way bigger than life. That southern
Speaker 3: accent is just off of the chain, and yeah, it's
Speaker 3: just it feels very and yeah, I think I kind
Speaker 3: of liked it. To Chris's point, it felt like once
Speaker 3: they got the point of she's a saint, but she
Speaker 3: doesn't want to be a saint, then yeah, maybe they
Speaker 3: could have had a lot more fun with that. We've
Speaker 3: seen people in movies commit a lot of sins. One
Speaker 3: of my favorites is Day of the Beast the Galicia
Speaker 3: in Euroto. No I can't remember who directed that one,
Speaker 3: but where the priest is trying to meet the devil
Speaker 3: and so he starts doing all these horrible things so
Speaker 3: that he can hopefully conjure the devil to meet him
Speaker 3: and avert the Antichrist being born. But anyway, that was
Speaker 3: very fun. I wanted them to have more fun with
Speaker 3: this one. The Ruby character looked very familiar to me,
Speaker 3: but I cannot place where I've seen her before. But
Speaker 3: then with her suddenly becoming a saint at the end,
Speaker 3: I was like, wait, no, she's not supposed to be
Speaker 3: a good person. She's the one that was teaching this
Speaker 3: other person how to be evil. The end of this
Speaker 3: it didn't stick the landing. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 3: What do you think fathom.
Speaker 2: Alone about that ending? To me felt like in the end,
Speaker 2: sainthood is more of a contagion than anything. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: so that I really liked. I really liked this episode.
Speaker 2: I know was sent bound. It's Warner show directing Warnershook mainly.
Speaker 2: An actor was in Night Riders and Creep Show. He's
Speaker 2: cousin in Father's Day, he's Richard the nephew the Oh
Speaker 2: my god, that's Warner Shook, and by now had started
Speaker 2: directing theater would end up winning a Pulitzer Prize for
Speaker 2: the Kentucky Cycle. I believe as a director. And what
Speaker 2: we're seeing here are stage actors being directed by a
Speaker 2: stage guy who isn't that adept visually. Nevertheless, the writing
Speaker 2: is so fucking over the top in height, and everyone
Speaker 2: I think is coming up to that. I really liked
Speaker 2: to talk about high concept. Okay, mom's a saint. Didn't
Speaker 2: realize that an accidental saint, and in order for her
Speaker 2: husband to be elected mayor, she has to no longer
Speaker 2: be saintly let's go along with this, and then so
Speaker 2: now she has to break all ten commandments. I agree
Speaker 2: didn't have enough fun with it, but then I think
Speaker 2: they're just worried that they were overloading us by that
Speaker 2: point with so much as far as plot contrivance. Nevertheless,
Speaker 2: what this reminded me of was the very economical sequence
Speaker 2: in Used Cars where Garrett Graham has to have all
Speaker 2: of the bad luck so his bull loose in the
Speaker 2: bar where he has to climb under a ladder and
Speaker 2: dump out all the salt and break a mirror. They
Speaker 2: could have gone for that. Nevertheless, the performances across the
Speaker 2: board I really enjoyed, particularly the mom Kailanie Lee, who
Speaker 2: seemed so cartoony and yet grounded at the same time,
Speaker 2: and yet I believed everything that was going on with her.
Speaker 2: I love the fact that at a certain point Bruce
Speaker 2: Springsteen becomes a deity to be prayed to along with us,
Speaker 2: and just as far as having fun with breaking the commandments.
Speaker 2: When the mom comes in and she's wearing Jane Adams
Speaker 2: Bruce Spinstein shirt and she's like, that's my Shirt's like, no,
Speaker 2: it's not, it's mine, and you get oh, she's lying
Speaker 2: and stealing at the same time. Okay, this is good
Speaker 2: now to the point of the adultery. She fucks the priest.
Speaker 2: It's true. What what I was. I hadn't seen this one, guys,
Speaker 2: but this is the first time for me deliver us
Speaker 2: from goodness. That floored me. That and then that it
Speaker 2: wouldn't work because I don't know if Julie Selbo or
Speaker 2: Susette Elegin is Catholic. For Catholics intent counts. That's the sin.
Speaker 2: So if you're doing the wrong thing for the right reason,
Speaker 2: it doesn't count. I love that that was introduced.
Speaker 4: Here, and this goes back to some of these other
Speaker 4: heightened ones that we've talked about. I guess I might
Speaker 4: just not be the biggest fan of these heightened episodes
Speaker 4: because I wasn't a big fan when we saw it
Speaker 4: on Tales from the Crypt, wasn't a big fan we
Speaker 4: saw it on Twilight Zone eighty five something about these
Speaker 4: Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I think that's
Speaker 4: ultimately the problem with something that's hyper stylized is there
Speaker 4: will be people that falld on the outer margins that
Speaker 4: just don't vibe with it. And I think I might
Speaker 4: be in there. I like the idea of the episode.
Speaker 4: I just think, yeah, to your point, Father Malone, like
Speaker 4: to say they don't explore it enough is maybe under
Speaker 4: selling how little they do explore it, which is not
Speaker 4: very much at all.
Speaker 2: I think if they had more of a visual stylist
Speaker 2: working it out, making it a bit more cartoony, I
Speaker 2: think it would have been easier to accept it overall.
Speaker 2: Having said that, here's my favorite line, and oh god,
Speaker 2: what will it take for you to forsake me.
Speaker 4: A good line.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's a good one. And at one point Mom
Speaker 2: says God, damn it, And that again rocked me on
Speaker 2: my heels because I remember nineteen eighty six, nineteen eighty seven,
Speaker 2: you couldn't say that on TV, at least I thought
Speaker 2: not at the time, So wondering how that got through.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was something, because yeah, they would also have
Speaker 3: to cut away from any sort of combination of those
Speaker 3: two words together.
Speaker 2: Or yeah, you would just hear god and they would
Speaker 2: drop out the damn or vice versa. But it's clear
Speaker 2: as day here. Maybe they could make a point to
Speaker 2: the censors that it was a necessary thing here instead
Speaker 2: of just casually thrown out. But still that was shocking.
Speaker 2: Almost a shocking was the goddamn synthesizer banjo that they
Speaker 2: had at the beginning of this.
Speaker 3: That really hurt and it sounded so close to oh Susannah.
Speaker 2: But wasn't right, so ultra maddening.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that had that not been present, I think I
Speaker 3: would have given that would have been a full extra star.
Speaker 3: Let's put it that way.
Speaker 2: Good good dou Ski apparently that's the priest. His exclamation
Speaker 2: and this.
Speaker 4: Good goody thank you for saying it. I've been sitting
Speaker 4: here trying to remember what it was this whole time.
Speaker 4: Could Lord Lord.
Speaker 3: Good good Dzski.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 4: Oh my god. Now stepping up to the plate playing
Speaker 4: board that Seattle Mariners, good Gadzoski taps his bat, his
Speaker 4: shoes type shoes of this bat. It sounds like an
Speaker 4: old baseball player, what kind of such a Again, it's
Speaker 4: so stylized that that just feeds into it. So it's
Speaker 4: just like, ugh, I don't know, I just don't vibe
Speaker 4: with it, but I get it. I want this premise
Speaker 4: to work because it's such a strange premise, Like, where
Speaker 4: else are you going to get this kind of premise
Speaker 4: other than an anthology show. You're not going to get
Speaker 4: this turned into a full movie.
Speaker 2: Stay out of our beach community. Good Zooski, good Zeuski,
Speaker 2: good Zeuski.
Speaker 4: It's a good working Polish name.
Speaker 2: I think I think both of these episodes are good.
Speaker 2: I think they're really good. I recommend them both outright. Uh,
Speaker 2: here's still hoping we get more from Tamnessman Darks. I
Speaker 2: say that every episode apparently it's paying dividends.
Speaker 4: I would say we very well make Hey all right.
Speaker 2: On the next episode of Midnight Viewing, we're taking a
Speaker 2: look at the next two episodes of season three. Those
Speaker 2: are Seasons of Belief and Miss MAYDUSA Midnight Viewing. The

Speaker 4: done with Ranking on Bond, we might do movies about

Speaker 4: Never know who knows. Cranking on Ass till I think
Speaker 4: is the best one. We'll never do that one, or
Speaker 4: we might who knows, but those can more than likely

Speaker 4: Bond is on Patreon, so that's where you can go
